From Time to Time

An ear twitched at his voice, a light sigh slipping from her lips when he told her he would be happy to discuss her situation. She didn't really want to, didn't want the images to pop into her head after she had finally blocked them out. All Loccian wanted was the good mental images of the pup smiling, happy to be able to start a new life with the grey shewolf. But with Gerhardt's next comment she felt like she should... that it would help possibly.

She pulled her head away, looking at the ground around her paws, watching the small pebbles shift out from under her body. The Ex-King did not answer her question on his time away, perhaps he didn't want to talk about it and that's why he brought up talking about her situation. That was okay, she understood.

"Reficul was murdered while you were gone." She said, probably in a too blank of a tone. Her head lifted slightly, grey orbs looking out over the water, the breeze pulling away from the two of him so his scent filled her nose and took hers out over the lake. "I'm not sure if somebody did it or just some other predator... but when I found her she was in pretty bad shape." A sadness managed to slip into her voice finally, eyes beginning to water, just barley able to contain the tears.

It seemed as though there had been a lot of death recently, even if there were only three bodies buried within the kingdom. Two of those would cause a great deal of pain for the woman, a great amount of terrible thoughts that didn't seem to leave her mind. She was lucky this time though, the voices weren't as strong as the ones from Octavian's death. She wouldn't have cuts along her legs this time.

Even with this sudden change of topic Loccian managed to keep herself together, holding back the tears, keeping her trembling body from shaking uncontrollably. She had finally been in a good mood, taking a break from her depression, and now here it was slowly making its way back.
